I don't recall, but Google does:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA

"Starting with the 80-wire cable defined for use in ATAPI5/UDMA4, the master device goes at the end of the 18-inch (460 mm) cable—the black connector—and the slave device goes on the middle connector—the gray one—and the blue connector goes onto the motherboard. "

Which is the primary connector? The one on the end is 1, or the one closest to the motherboard?

In all ed drives I haveiawd anything data required no jumper in ide drives you have 3 arts of pins that usually matter. No pin is single drive master 1-2 single drive master 3-4 single drive slave and 5-6 is cable select. I can verify this when I get home. There are other jumpers but the serve some odd legacy functions I cannot recall without a visual aid.
